Just one more glitch: It is 100 mr in one hour, not 100 mr/hr.

Since the regulation refers to radiation levels in an area, 100 mR/hr is
different from 100 mR in one hour only for cases in which the radiation
field changes on an appropriate time scale.  I believe the previous writer
was correct (but for minor variations) in equating the two in this case.
